Rashtriya Prajatantra Party (RPPA) Chairman Rajendra Lingden is regretting his party's participation in the Three Corners movement. In the performance committee meeting held a few days ago, most of the leaders, including him, concluded that the Durga Prasain commander was trapped in the three-cornered movement. However, this conclusion of RPP leaders is incomplete. This party is not trapped because of Prasain, but because the former king Gyanendra is unable to get out of the trap. The longer the leadership, including Lingden, delays in realizing this truth, the more it will become a matter of regret in the long run.

However, this comment will not be acceptable to the RPP party line, which was established as a legacy of the previous Panchas. However, for the political transformation of RPP, its leadership is not too late to think 'out of the box'. 

RPP is standing in such a confusing precipice, from where it is going nowhere. While carrying the issue of the dead monarchy, the small public opinion of the traditional monarchist group will follow him, but this will neither increase the influence of this party, nor its size. The fact that the 'strength' he has gained in the current parliament is also the result of electoral cooperation with the pro-republic UML. 

RPP aims to bring back the monarchy by using the democratic rights granted by the republican system, which is a contradiction in itself. The RPP has adopted the paradoxical character of participating in government cooperation when there is an opportunity and also taking advantage of the liberality of the democratic system to act against it. It would be politically preferable for him to get out of this contradiction as quickly as possible. It is necessary to have a debate/discussion from this angle on the RPP line which is demonstrating on the road to return the former king to the throne. 

Dissatisfaction with the big parties supporting the democratic system has increased. There is even more dissatisfaction with the top leadership. However, this does not mean that public opinion is in favor of reviving the dead monarchy. The majority of the public is looking for an alternative leadership capable of 'delivery' within this system. Not that of a dynasty or a former king who has been buried, disputed and tested in the depths of history. 

RPP now has only two options, to become irrelevant with the former king's issue or to leave this issue and secure its 'space' within the current political system. 

Let's see how this party will become irrelevant while carrying the issue of monarchy. Under what circumstances can the monarchy in Nepal be revived? A monarchy can be restored in four cases. But, can RPP build those four conditions? Let's analyze it from the royal angle. 

First, if the RPP can use the system to transform the thoughts and ideas of returning the monarchy through elections, its purpose can be fulfilled. That is, according to the constitution of Nepal, two-thirds of the parliamentarians can amend the constitution from the parliament itself. If the RPP gets two-thirds of the votes from the election, it can amend the constitution and restore the monarchy. But, is it possible to return the monarchy through legal means in the current political scenario? Even a staunch royalist does not think that there is or will be such a public opinion. 

Second, to cause chaos and instability on the basis of the growing frustration with the current political establishment, and from there, keep wondering whether the monarchy will return with the influence and blessings of local and foreign interest groups. RPP has been working mostly on this option since the loss of monarchy. In times of frustration, he tried to see if this option could work. However, every such attempt he made failed 

has been happening. This time, the royalist forces became more defensive due to the street chaos. That is, even if it goes to the second option, it does not seem that the monarchist intention will be fulfilled. 

Third, the option of returning the monarchy by participating in the spontaneous people's movement. Will the people who came to the streets and reconciled the monarchy come down to the streets again to wake up the same dead institution? Within the democratic system, against the undemocratic character that has grown within the party, it may take the form of people's struggle due to the rise of extreme dissatisfaction among the people at some point. It cannot be argued that the people will never wake up in the context that the current political establishment has not made any effort to reform itself. However, it cannot be on the condition of returning the monarchy. RPP does not have the public opinion to create a storm of people's movement, nor does it have the power to carry out that level of public mobilization. 

In this case he may have the option of remaining i.e. the fourth rebellion. However, there is no history of right-wing forces in the world going to the option of rebellion or people's revolution. The right-wing is a nation that prides itself on history, championing the cause of renaissance. Even now, the royalists of Nepal are engrossed in the slavery and saga of one family. In particular, the former king Gyanendra is not a continuation of the Nepali dynasty. With the Rajdarbar massacre, the continuity of the traditional royal system has been disrupted. On top of that, the monarchy, which has become autocratic by repeatedly taking away people's rights, has left the Constituent Assembly, the highest body elected by the people, through the people's movement.

In order to bring back the duly departed monarchy, does the RP have the capacity to counter-revolution against the people's revolution of 2063? Does the RPP have the ability to stand against this system and organize the people in favor of the monarchy? no Therefore, it is appropriate for RPP to use the constitution and the system to get out of the contradiction of returning the monarchy. He doesn't have to do anything to get out of this contradiction, he has to throw away the burden of the dynasty or the former king that has become history. And, this constitution and system should not be used, but should be put to good use. The scope of this party can be widened if it can make a sincere 'commitment' to the present system and the constitution. For that, the RPP should be able to leave the path of the extreme right and establish itself as a middle-class 'moderate' political force. 

The identification of political forces or the division of 'caste' is basically done in three ways. Left wing, middle wing and right wing. It is also described as radical right wing in the right wing and radical left wing in the left wing. However, it is difficult to define Nepal's parties in terms of political philosophy. While carrying the banner of socialism, Congress was once known as a 'centre-to-left' party. At one time, when the right-wing front was raised against the communists, it reached the category of 'center to right'. Now it is collaborating with the Left Party. In the past, Nepali Communists were defined as 'Center to Left and Center to Far Left'. Now, how much they are left-wing or not, can become a different topic of debate. Resurgent RPP is a right-wing political force. If he can correct himself from the renaissance party and bring himself to the middle-class path, it can create a 'space' in Nepali politics. 

RPP is the party of former Panchs. It is even considered by some as the 'king's party'. Being born in the legacy of Panchayat along with multi-party system, its identity has remained like this. As this party could not modify and refine itself in accordance with the changed system, its range of support did not expand. Even now it is confined in the limited circle of Purpanchas. To remain in the limited circle of pre-panchas with the royalist tag or to adapt themselves to the changed times, society and political thinking and grow on the path of political transformation? For this party, it may make more sense to get bogged down in this question than the movement to get a king. That's because, in politics 

RPP can remain as a 'moderate conservative' party if it can move its presence out of the circle of limited precincts and monarchist tag. 

The main identity of the RPP, which advocates Hindu Rashtra, is called the Monarchist Party. He has not been able to build his political identity from other issues. He has included in his manifesto issues such as directly elected executive by the people, fully proportional parliament, two-tier government structure with a strong local level, the system that the same person cannot be the leader of the government or party for more than two terms, etc. Even in favor of the Hindu nation, there is overwhelming public opinion in Nepal at the moment. But, more than these cases, the RPP is known for the royal issue.  To break the story, the trend of baking politics under the guise of religion is not fair and prudent under any circumstances. However, the fact that Nepali public opinion is increasing in favor of Hindu Rashtra is the bitter truth of the moment. To some extent, the issue of Hindu Rashtra has entered the parties including the Congress. In this context, if the RPP seeks political transformation through its other issues by taking itself out of 'monarchy', it can attract such thinking within the Congress or other parties. 

The other truth is that Nepali public opinion is currently searching for an alternative political power within the democratic system. The Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RASWPA) is a prime example of this. This party has not revealed its ideological identity. It is not clear whether it is a center, left or right wing. However, it has highlighted the frustration of the people and the failure of the current political establishment to deliver. Workers, well-wishers and supporters of Congress, UML or other political backgrounds are also included in this party. RPP can also remove the monarchist tag and become a party with a different identity within the democratic system. This can happen when Rajendra Lingden, the chairman of RPP and the supporter of the liberal group of this party, will be leading. 

Since the establishment of the RPP, there have been two levels of monarchism. One is generous and the other is illiberal. Anudar monarchists, even if they don't say it with their mouths, have the intentions of an active monarchy inside. Liberal monarchists advocate a constitutional monarchy. However, now the return of constitutional or any form of monarchy is neither possible nor relevant in Nepali politics. Therefore, the liberal RPPs should not delay in finding a way for political transformation. 

In addition, RPPA chairman Lingden has reached the position of holding the reins of RPPA under the watchful eyes of former King Gyanendra. After he was elected from the fourteenth Congress, his then rival Kamal Thapa congratulated Purvaraja through Twitter and revealed that Purvaraja was behind him. Therefore, how many will be ready to ensure the political fate and future of the RP in a democracy other than Lingden Raja? Let him go. But, this much can be said, if Lyngden tries to change the political body of RPP, his dignified and gentlemanly style will definitely attract a section of public opinion. 

Lingden entered into active politics in the latter half of the panchayat and is a product of RPP with democracy after 2046. He doesn't even have that big panchayat legacy. Therefore, he can be a suitable person to take this risk of political transformation of RPP. While infusing new political life into the RPP, he should not forget one side, at least he should be able to protect him from the Anudar royalists who have Panchayat heritage and the 'Nawarajadis' who have joined due to different interests and opportunities. It is beneficial for RPP to be able to create its own unique identity within democracy by focusing on issues rather than wasting time by creating cracks in the foundations of instability and anarchy. Rather than advocating the corruption of the monarchy, why could the RPP not get out of the panchayat and palace? Why is someone not ready to become a spontaneous RPP? These questions are more relevant for the RP when the generation born after the 2063 movement has become voters. To protest without reason and cause suffering to the people or to start a debate for meaningful results, Lyndenji? Otherwise, it's time to regret it at leisure.
